It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That looks uncanny valley creepy, to me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A fairly in-depth look at why the Republican-controlled Congress sucks so much more than others in recent decades. Or centuries.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Oh, that is so naive to thing someone's using a teleporter. It's much more likely that in the future, MM, Sean, and DX are traveling back in time just to confuse you.

Yeah. I imagine the three of us got drunk at some F2F and decided we needed to go back to Seattle prevent Microsoft from happening. We probably just miscalculated a little. They didn't happen to mention any lottery numbers in passing, did they?

What is even happening?

And what have you done with Cass?

Nope. But they also wouldn't meet my eyes.

But but but! My day job! It's not that I love it here, but no dress code AND a good paycheck are a hard combo to find.

I did say we were probably drunk. Not much with the thinking about consequences, ya know?

And what have you done with Cass?

Who? I just checked the user list, and can't find any such user name.

I'm sure in the course of skipping and skimming, I missed when this was posted:

Jonathan Coulton's "All We Want to Do is Eat Your Brains"

Heya Tom, it’s Bob from the office down the hall
Good to see you buddy, how’ve you been?
Thing have been OK for me except that I’m a zombie now
I really wish you’d let us in
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
But here’s an FYI: you’re all gonna die screaming

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Actually, it's "Re: Your Brains" but as you said. I've previously YSI'd it for friends in my LJ.

There is no day so bad that it cannot be improved by judicious playing of Re: Your Brains.

An update on the mail situation: no, it wasn't stolen. The post office just entirely failed to redeliver it, despite the clear instructions on the printout that said to deliver it at the end of the hold period.

I had to leave the office 90 minutes early for this?
